01 — Perform
Playing where concerts don't usually happen
[Placeholder: senior centers, hospitals, school assemblies, community fundraisers — where you played, for whom, and what surprised you about the audience.]
Music, shared
Music only finishes when it reaches somebody. This is the part of my musical life that belongs to other people.
02 — Compose
Writing music for other people to play
[Placeholder: pieces or arrangements you wrote for friends, ensembles, or beginners, and why writing for someone else is different from writing for yourself.]
03 — Teach
Handing the instrument over
[Placeholder: students you taught or accompanied, what you learned about explaining musical intuition, and a moment when something clicked for someone.]
